Stripe Sigma helps you analyze your Stripe data with industry-standard SQL, making it easier to get powerful real-time insights into your business data. Today, we’re adding a couple more useful features in response to requests we’ve heard.

Scheduled queries

First, we’re adding scheduled queries. With scheduled queries, you can now turn any Sigma query into a daily, weekly, or monthly report. We’ll automatically run any Sigma query you choose and email you the results. (And, as with other Stripe events, scheduled queries will automatically fire a webhook in case you’d like to take programmatic action.)

You can set up scheduled queries to automatically share results with specific team members on your Stripe account. For example, you can send:

A list of high-value signups to a sales manager.

Monthly balance reports to your accounting team.

A report of subscriptions expiring in the next week to your account management team.

You can set up a schedule for an existing query or write a new one.

Declines analysis

Second, you can now write queries in Sigma to analyze declines using detailed data about whether a charge succeeded or failed and why. If you use Stripe Radar, risk scores and rule data are also available to query. We’ve added a few new example templates to Sigma to help. For example, you might use this feature to find why credit cards are getting declined:

We hope these features make Sigma more useful for you. If you have any feedback or questions, let us know!
